FAQs
How can I tell if I have missing roof tiles on my Bristol property?
Typical warning signs include visible gaps on the roof surface, slipped or cracked tiles found on the ground, water stains on ceilings or loft timbers, and increased draughts or daylight showing through your loft boards. A professional inspection is the safest way to confirm the issue, as some gaps are only detectable from certain roof angles.
Why is it important to replace missing tiles promptly?
Missing tiles expose the underlay and roof timbers to rain, wind-driven debris and UV radiation. This can lead to timber rot, insulation damage, mould growth and interior leaks. Replacing missing tiles quickly prevents costly structural repairs, preserves your home’s thermal efficiency and ensures your property insurance remains valid.
What does your roof inspection service in Bristol include?
Our inspection starts with an external survey using ladders or a drone, depending on access and weather conditions. We check for missing, cracked and slipped tiles, assess ridge and hip tiles, examine flashing, gutters and pointing, and photograph any defects. Inside the loft we look for daylight ingress, damp patches and insulation issues. You receive a written report, annotated photos, repair recommendations and a no-obligation quotation.
How much does it cost to inspect and replace missing roof tiles?
A standard Bristol roof inspection costs £80–£120, which is waived if you proceed with repairs over £250. Replacing one to five standard concrete tiles, including labour and materials, typically ranges from £95–£150. Larger repairs, access scaffolding or specialised clay, slate or heritage tiles increase the price, but we always provide a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Can you work with all the common tile types found on Bristol roofs?
Yes. Our experienced roofers handle interlocking concrete tiles, plain clay tiles, Welsh slate, fibre-cement slate and decorative ridge or hip tiles often seen in Bristol’s Victorian terraces. We source matching or sympathetic replacements from local and national suppliers to retain your property’s appearance and comply with conservation area requirements.
How quickly can you attend an emergency roof inspection after a storm?
For urgent storm damage, we offer a same-day call-out service anywhere in Bristol and surrounding areas. Our team aims to arrive within 2–4 hours, weather permitting. We carry spare tiles and waterproof membranes to make immediate temporary repairs, preventing further water ingress until a full repair can be scheduled.
